I don't have to be the first one to say that I'm an avid runner who has held run streaks for nearly 4 years at a time and I also run road & trail races up to the marathon distance. I also partake in yoga, lifting, and other cardio. All that to say that I can put a hurting on a watch. This is at least my fifth Garmin in 10 years. I chose the Vivoactive over the Forerunner for style. This Vivoactive does give me feedback about my runs and a daily digest with suggestions. The only disappointment so far is I don't get any recorded miles when I use an indoor bike for spin class. Overall, it's been a good 2 weeks, so far.

I feel the manual was not very clear and how to use the watch most effectively, especially for training purposes regarding custom workouts and evaluation. Furthermore, the pairing with the app, although very simple and easy to do, is not very clear the most effective way to use it. I have found myself asking ChatGPT best and most effective ways to use the watch.

I've had this for about a month now and I could not be happier!! It's easy to use, the health features are thorough and more accurate than my last watch (Apple Watch Series 6), and has a sleek design! I would recommend to anyone who is active and wants more heath insights!

I ususally purchase the lower priced models or restored models. This model is a few years older, but I love it already. I do not like the feeling of things on my wrist when I sleep so I've never measure my sleep. This watch feels great and I've been able to get my sleep scores. The only feature I don't love, or maybe understand yet, is the watch face options. I don't love that I can't my hr showing and the seconds of the time showing. Overall, grateful that I purchased this watch and love Garmin.

Got this for my wife as she was tired of her Apple watch. I did a lot of research online to figure out which one would be best for her. Yeah it won't do everything an apple watch does BUT it does do things an Apple Watch doesn't do. Go on YouTube to hear the product breakdown from people to learn warm. She would recommend it to anyone. The watch is customizable in many ways and looks great. The only negative was she got irritation from the band.

I bought this watch about 3-4 weeks ago. It was easy to set up and use. I primarily use it to walk (tracking steps and distance) as well as cycling (paired with the 1050 Edge). It is comfortable to wear (important!) and has the right amount of "bells and whistles" to assist you on your health and wellness journey.

I have had owned Garmin watches for over 20 years. The vivoactive 6 is the best i have experienced to date. I recently updated to this watch and use it in place of an Apple watch that I tried and did not stay with. The battery life is excellent except when in the golf app. Most of the apps I have used so far are excellent. The golf app is basic and does not have the features that a full golf watch has, but it is adequate. The exercise and health apps are an improvement over my previous watch the Vivoactive 4

The Vivoactive6 provides the info I need to track my sleep score, steps and HRV. I like how it is easy to read, and deep dives into scoring. It doesn't sync with my JRNY Spin Bike App, but I can manually enter the data into the Garmin app for tracking.

Bough this a few weeks back and absolutely love the features for the price point. This has helped me get back to active, properly train and try to live a healthier lifestyle. Highly recommend if you are looking for a solid entry level smartwatch and tracker!

My husband bought this for me, but I wish I'd done some research beforehand. It's not as intuitive as my old Apple Watch and doesn't sync with my phone as easily. The battery is much better and it's good for swimming but every other feature isn't as easily accessible.
